Freedom

Synopsis:
Now in its tenth year, theDrillingCompaNY is well known for its collections of new plays around common themes. the theme this year is FReeDOM. "We chose it because of all of the attention our FRee -market economy has gotten lately and because we're still fighting wars for the same cause," says artistic director Hamilton Clancy. "Franklin Roosevelt outlined four freedoms America was responsible for defending-that was the kick-off point for playwrights." With grants from the New York State Council on the Arts and Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, theDrillingCompaNY commissions writers to write around the chosen theme. the directors of this year's plays are: Hamilton Clancy, Robert a. Wilson, Tom Demenkoff, Jude Domski, David Marantz, Richard Mover, and Rebecca Hengstenberg.

Straight On 'til Morning

Straight On 'til Morning
Straight On Til Morning mashes up the tale of Peter Pan, the cold calm secrets of author JM Barrie and the neighborhood everyone loves to hate-Williamsburg, Brooklyn-and offers a glimpse of the addictive fervor that was tangible before the cranes came in. Before the pool held concerts. Before the TastyD on Bedford. Part Indie Rock aficionado, part dive-bar junky, the play follows Peter and his cohorts over the course of a 24-hour period as the past comes back, the future seems boring, and the Now wins out.Only today, in the rapidly changing playground of Williamsburg, could a play written in 2003 then produced in 2009 be considered a period piece, but that's exactly what this new production of Straight On Til Morning is.
